What to watch
Bank remains well positioned to leverage opportunities and mitigate headwinds
Potential headwinds
Geo-political tensions especially in Middle East
Fiscal slippages on revenue and expenditure front due to above crisis and climate changes
External account and PKR stability at risk with pick-up in import bill and repayment of bilateral deposits
Higher inflationary pressures which may lead to increase in interest rates
Slower progress on structural reforms including circular debt, broadening of tax base and privatization
Potential
tailwinds
Improvement in geo-political and diplomatic stature may result in economic dividends
Successful completion of IMF program and realization of further bilateral / multilateral support
Renewed focus on the mineral and IT sector
Growth in private sector advances in low-interest rates - increased economic activity and GDP
